Hello,
The PCF8574 in VQFN package has an exposed pad, for thermal purpose.
In the datasheet, there is no information about the electrical potential of this pad
Is it possible to connect it to Ground or must it be unconnected ?
Best regards

Hello Iuc,
Connect the thermal pad to the ground plane for best thermal performance.
